The great thing about books is there are no age ratings.
His Dark Materials are superb books. The Chronicles of Narnia are very good also even with the rather heavy-handed Christian allegory. Both series are however nothing like Twilight but should be suitable for anyone with taste.
Anything by Robert Westall is highly recommended. He's a British writer of horror (The Wheatstone Pond, Urn Burial, The Scarecrows) and fiction (Blitzcat, The Machine Gunners) for teenagers or "young adults". He won the Carnegie Medal for The Scarecrows and the Machine Gunners.
